Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm have announced that Injustice 2 is in development for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The sequel to the critically acclaimed Injustice: Gods Among Us, the upcoming superhero fighter will allow gamers to personalise its iconic roster of DC characters with various content earned during battles.

Injustice 2 picks up following the events of its predecessor, and sees Batman and chums attempting to patch up society while simultaneously dealing with factions who wish to see Superman’s regime restored.

In addition to battling as a variety of characters plucked from the DC Comics universe---boasting the largest DC lineup of any fighting game---players will also get to slug it out across massive stages including Atlantis, Gotham City and Metropolis.

"In Injustice 2, we are introducing new features that will change the way fans play fighting games," said NetherRealm Studios’ Creative Director, Ed Boon. "We’re always interested in pushing the genre forward and allowing players to customise and level-up their favourite DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains is a significant leap."

The Gear System uses RPG-like mechanics to reward you with loot drops every time you play the game. With each loot drop, you will earn character-specific gear to outfit and power up your roster – changing not only the look of each character, but your fight strategy and your personal approach to every match.

Players will be able to choose a character and customize him or her to play and look the way they want them to. Each piece of gear comes with different stats to allow players to play different ways. This, combined with the option to add shaders and unlockable special abilities, will further allow players to make the character they want to.

With the gear system, players will be able to change five different parts of the character’s outfit: The helmet, the chest, the arms, the legs, and the accessory. The accessory option will include the item that is most notable about the character, such as, Wonder Woman’s sword and shield, and Super-Man’s crest.

To unlock gear, players will need to play through all the modes of the game, receiving it as a reward. While players continue their play through they’ll have access to different looks with different stats. This means that while playing online, it’s going to be rare that two characters will ever look the same.
